Holiday Information

This superb road cycling tour traverses east to west through the stunning mountain ranges of the Spanish region of Andalucia.

Following the arc of the Mediterranean, our cycling route begins on the beautiful volcanic coastline of the Cabo de Gata. Leaving the clear waters of the Mediterranean and sweeping golden sands behind us we head into the mountains of Andalucía. We’ll ride through the dramatic, inhospitable ‘badlands’ of the Tabernas desert, once the favoured backdrop of western films, before we climb onto the slopes of the Sierra Nevada, the highest mountain range in southern Spain.

Challenging climbs and exhilarating descents connect traditional Andalucían villages where it seems that time has been standing still for centuries. From here we head into the Sierra Tejeda and the El Torcal Nature reserve, famous for its extraordinary rock formations.

Midpoint of the tour and we reach the towering walls of the El Chorro Gorge, the Puerto de los Vientos, from where we can look down on the beautiful town of Ronda and its surrounding sierras.

Picking our way through the region’s beautiful limestone peaks we’re privileged to spend the night in Grazalema, one of Andalusia’s famed 'pueblos blancos' nestling beneath towering rocks. At over 800m above sea level Grazalema offers us a fantastic finale as we descend into vast cork clad hills and down to the pristine sands at the historical Cape Trafalgar.

This is Andalucia at its very best and whilst a challenging journey of nearly 700km it takes in the most beautiful scenery that southern Spain has to offer.

Holiday Feedback

Already thinking about my next Skedaddle holiday...

Everyone I have spoken to / had dealings with at Skedaddle has been both friendly, helpful and knowledgeable! Dan (tour guide) was great, very easy going but knew exactly what was going on and nothing was too much trouble!

Paul, Norwich

Excellent tour guides!

Dan was an exceptional leader of our tour. He was perfect! Knew the routes, made us laugh, included everyone – a real hard worker! Sebastian was fantastic too – always at everyone’s service, always on time, professional, reliable – exactly what you needed. Knocked up a fantastic lunch and worked tirelessly without complaint.

Nigel, London

One of those special holidays I will remember fondly...

Cycling up in the Sierras, in the pines and down through the olive groves was lovely. Dan Steve and Seb were great and nothing was any trouble at all. Seb’s lunches were something to look forward too!

Nigel, Huddersfield

Brilliant guides...

Absolutely fantastic guides! Great fun but professional and nothing too much effort. Seb’s lunches were the best Skedaddle lunches I’ve ever had (and I’ve had a few!). Steve bonkers but great fun. The three guides were a great team.
